Biomedical Engineers

Ihre Aufgaben

Biomedical Engineering, is a highly interdisciplinary field of engineering which combines a fundamental understanding of engineering principles with an appreciation of the life sciences. Biomedical Engineers are prepared to solve problems in the health care industry and interact equally with other engineers and health care professionals. Students are prepared to embark on careers in research, design and development of medical devices, instrumentation, analysis tools, clinical evaluation methods, systems and processes, and other forms of medical technology.

• Apply principles of engineering, biology, human physiology, chemistry, calculus-based physics, mathematics (through differential equations) and statistics.

• Solve bio/biomedical engineering problems, including those associated with interactions between living and non-living systems.

• Analyze, model, design, and realize bio/biomedical engineering devices, systems, components, or processes.

• Make measurements on and interpret data from living systems., A degree in biomedical engineering prepares you for careers in research, design and development of medical devices, instrumentation, analysis tools, clinical evaluation methods, systems and processes, as well as for post-baccalaureate studies in engineering, law, or medical school., The biomedical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org, and has specific program educational objectives and student outcomes that prepare graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering.
